Jamie, Ryan and Sierra brought their dogs, Bo and Sky, to the lake. Bo is always entertaining us. He is continually wanting someone to throw him a stick out in the water. He will bring you a stick and patiently wait with his head on his front paws for you to throw it. Sky is just plain cute. She's like a little stuffed toy. Jamie and Ryan's friends, Carrie and Ryan also came down for a while.
Jen and her boyfriend Matt brought Matt's 5 yr old niece, Hanna, down with them so that Sierra would have someone to play with. That was a hit! The two girls became good friends and hung out together all weekend. Matt's roommate, Adam, was also down for a while.
My bother, Ron, and his wife Illa, had a couple friends down, Dave and Tre. Dave loves to cook. He made us all a scrumptious meal. Tre brought an activity down for the kids. She and the kids made garden stepping stones with their feet and hand prints on them. How nice of Tre to do that! Dave and Tre also brought their two daughters and their dog with them.Illa's daughter and grandson were also down. So with Dave and I, we had a total of 19 people and 7 dogs at the lake this weekend.
At one pint during the weekend, everyone was out in one of the boats either fishing, tubing or swimming at the sandbar. Dave and I were alone on the deck, taking a breather. We talked about how blessed we are to have the lake cottage and family together. What a perfect weekend! (and to think, God says that the best is yet to come!)
